We manage dependencies primarily through task organization and naming conventions. In some mostly infrequent cases we have had to resort to "extra information" in the task description. Its really a trade off. We have found that the value of high compliance and ubiquitous usage by the team, outweighs the occasional sub-optimal steps necessary to handle a "missing" feature.

Anything that resembles more natural looking pages, similar to a book or a newspaper will definitely be easier to view and thus more people will want to buy it. I wonder if it is possible to develop E-ink in various colors? It will be interesting to see the future development of E-Ink as I think it will be the key to more people adopting the Kindle.
